Can South Asians appreciate other cuisines?

I mean i'm sure they can appreciate it's neighboring country's cuisines and Middle Eastern, Caribbean, African and some Latin (specially Mexican) cuisine because they also use a lot of spices. But I wanna talk about European, East Asian and Pacific Islander food and more. Sounds like a stupid question but what made me ask is they specially Indians are #1 users of so many varieties of spices making their food super flavorful that may make other cuisines taste boring to them. I'm just curious about what they think. I personally think Indian cuisine is the best.

I've known lots of people who grew up in India & love some western foods like Italian. So, no I don't think they find all foods outside of their own cultural traditions boring. The fact is, tho, that in some places, the Indian food is 20x better than local food at the same price point. People (Indian and non Indian) do the math and vote with their feet. If the local Indian restaurant sucks nobody goes there.

And a place like the Philippines embraces all types of food.

Honestly it seems like there are at least a few ethnic groups who refuse to eat anything other than their foods. Such as Mexican and Asians.

I've noticed is very hard for them to appreciate other cuisines because south Asian food has so much flavor. They may try other cuisines for a change but they will always go back to eating what they're used to and that's fine.
